Finding purpose.
Some people live their purpose while others never find it. Is it even important to find your purpose or can life be great without it?
I have never wondered about purpose before and with my new journey I find myself thinking about it more often. It took me a while to find my own purpose and now that I have found it, I wonder how I can inspire others to find theirs.
What happens if your purpose changes then? You might find it only to realize your perspective has changes and the purpose is not the same anymore. Is that something to worry about or should you just go with the flow and follow what feels right?
My purpose is to inspire people to find their inner smile. It seams quite easy enough but how can I get people to do that? I have no idea really. I think there is much more to learn if I want to understand how everything works. For the moment I do what I can by writing about my way back after having trouble with Crohn’s Disease. I hope my story can help someone to find their smile despite battling with their own sickness and still find enjoyment in life.
Not funny all the time
Having Crohn’s Disease is no funny business. That doesn’t mean that life can’t be funny and enjoyable. Off course its not like that all the time but when you can live a good life seeing the big picture and feel that life is a good place to be in despite the troubles that comes along, that’s when I think you are on the right way forward.
I find it easy to enjoy life most of the time and I think the people around me is one reason for that. Another reason is that I have learned to enjoy the small things in life. Third reason is that I don’t take life so seriously. One thing everyone does is being born and then when the time comes to say goodbye and leave the earthy life, we will do that too. We will enter naked, and we will leave naked. What we do in between is our own choices most of the time.
Choosing the right thing in every turn in life is impossible I would say but when you make your choices from a good place in your heart and following your gut-feeling I think you can get a great life, filled with joy, love, friendship and every thing in between. I believe when you have that you are equipped with everything you need. If you add a positive attitude, I think you have the recipe for success.
Training your mind
If you have a negative mind, you probably will find obstacles everywhere. Don’t be sad over that. I honestly believe that you can change your mind and make it less negative. I think it starts with a decision and willingness to do what it takes. Don’t rush these things, take your time, step by step, hour by hour and day by day.
Your personal mind (some call it ego) will protest, loudly to stop you from changing your habits. You have to be determent and have a lot of courage to fight your personal mind and let your gut-feeling lead you forward. The only thing your personal mind wants to do is to save you from getting hurt, so be gentle and forgiving towards yourself.
Sometimes you can not do this journey by yourself. If that is the case find someone you trust to help you through the ordeal. There are professionals out there if you need more than a trusted friend to find your way forward.
Me, I am probably born with a positive attitude, even if I’m not positive all the time, I usually find my way back to my positive self. That, I am incredibly happy about because I don’t think I am brave enough to meet my personal mind. God knows what is in there, for me it’s easier to just move ahead and do the things that make me happy. People probably will say that I sweep it all under the rug, avoiding dealing with it, that might be the truth. Some time, I will have to deal with it, I guess. But when that day comes, I will grab the bull by the horns and fight.
